10 INSTALLING BATTERYPLUS35 POWER SUPPLY Personnel Installation is to be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel. Ventilation, Orientation, and Thermal Considerations The preferred orientation is with the load connection at the bottom, as shown in Figure 1: Recommended Mounting Holes, and located such that there is a minimum of 80 mm free air space from all vented sides of BatteryPlus35. This allows for the lowest operating temperature of the internal electronics and highest reliability of the product. The final enclosure must also provide adequate ventilation to the outside world (or larger internal cavity) to prevent excessive heating of the air within the enclosure. At normal room temperature (25 C), the unit is rated to provide full power in both vertical and horizontal orientations. At elevated temperature up to 50 C, the output current is de-rated to 32A. WARNING The enclosure air temperature can easily exceed 50 C if adequate ventilation is not provided. The unit has over-temperature protection, meaning it will shut down if its internal temperature rises above a safe level. The unit will automatically restart once it has cooled to an acceptable level. WARNING DO NOT install BatteryPlus35 in the same compartment where flammable material such as petrol is stored. WARNING Ensure that the BatteryPlus35 is not exposed to any liquids during installation or the installed environment. 10

11 Mounting BatteryPlus35 should be securely mounted to a suitably strong surface, using 4 predrilled mounting holes. Dimensional details are provided in Figure 1 below. Mains Cable Mounting Holes (x4) Countersunk screw Recommended MIN 10mm Gap required At all times Output Cables 50mm screw slot Figure 1: Recommended Mounting Holes 11

12 Mains Cable 1 WARNING If the supply cord is damaged, it must not be replaced and the appliance should be scrapped. This is pre-cabled and fitted with a mains plug. Ensure that the connection to the mains supply is in accordance with the national wiring rules, and that the earth connection is installed. The mains cable must be at least 10mm away from the output cables. See Figure 1: Recommended Mounting Holes. All DC connections should be wired according to Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA and Figure 4: DC wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35PM. The plug must be accessible during installation. If this is not possible, an accessible mains disconnection switch must be incorporated in the mains wiring where the plug is connected. Wire Size DC cables must be sized to carry the maximum full load current and to not exceed the system volt drop requirements. The following cable sizes are recommended. When running wires, if they pass through panels or wall, ensure the wires are protected from damage by sharp edges. The use of cable glands is recommended. Current Minimum Wire Size 0 10A 1.0 mm² or 18 AWG 10 20A 3.0 mm² or 14 AWG 20 30A 5.5 mm² or 10 AWG Table 1: Wire Size Recommendations Load Connections Up to 14 independently-fused loads, may be connected. Loads are attached using female spade Quick Connects (QC). See Figure 2: Quick Connect Dimensions. Refer to Table 1: Wire Size Recommendations for wire size recommendations. All load negative returns must be connected directly to the BatteryPlus35 negative terminals 2 only. 12

13 Caravan Battery Connection WARNING 6 A fuse must be installed in the positive connection of the battery. This fuse MUST be as close as possible to the battery. This fuse protects against short circuits and reverse battery conditions. A fuse rating no greater than 40 Amps must be used. 6.8mm Figure 2: Quick Connect Dimensions Connect the caravan battery to the terminals shown in Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA. The battery negative return must be connected to the BatteryPlus35 BATT- 6 only. The battery negative must not be directly connected to the chassis. In order to avoid incorrect current readings and battery capacity errors, DO NOT make any connections directly to the battery. AX (Auxiliary) DC Input Connection 5 CAUTION Suitable fuse protection MUST be provided for the AX input. A fuse rating not exceeding 30 Amps must be used. The power supply terminal AX provides an alternative option for powering the loads and charging of the batteries when mains voltages are not present. This input is to be powered from a suitable +12 V system (e.g. a vehicle). The voltage of this external DC power source should not exceed 14.8 V. This input is isolated using an internal relay, so it is strictly an input; BatteryPlus35 will never supply current to anything connected to this terminal. The AX voltage must be 0.5V greater than the battery voltage for charging to occur. If the current supplied by the AX input is less than 2A then the charging will stop. This is the only input for a car connection. Refer to AX Charging on page 26. Note: BatteryPlus35 does not provide battery charge management when operating in this configuration. In this configuration current and voltage control for the battery must be provided from the external source. Note: The BatteryPlus35 and loads can be powered directly from the Auxiliary input and does not require a battery. Solar Connection 14 This connection is for solar panel connection for the BatteryPlus35SRHA and for a solar regulator/controller connection for the BatteryPlus35PM. 13

14 BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA Versions BatteryPlus35SR/HA have a solar input to which standard 12V solar panels are to be connected to this input. This input is internally connected to a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charger which is able to charge a 12V battery system and provide power to the loads. This MPPT charger is a smart, multi-stage, 450W regulator which is capable of delivering up to 30A. The charging stages are described in Figure 8: Charging Algorithm. The voltage generated by the solar panel must exceed 17.5V for two minutes in order for the solar panels to start charging the batteries. The AX and solar sources can be both enabled at the same time if available. Solar Panels Standard 12V solar panels are to be used. Solar panels may be paralleled and its (Voc) open circuit voltage must not exceed 25V. Installing the Solar Panel 1. Make sure there is no mains and no auxiliary input 2. Connect the battery to the battery terminals 3. Connect solar panels directly to the solar input ensuring correct polarity. See Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA All connections must be sound and all QCs must be crimped well. Push each QC all the way into the blade connector. BatteryPlus35PM Versions CAUTION DO NOT connect solar panels directly to this input. BatteryPlus35PM solar input is to be connected with an external solar regulator with solar panels. The external regulator or controller can be MPPT or PWM type. The output of the solar regulator must not exceed 30A and should provide a suitable charging profile for the batteries installed in the system. Solar panel and external regulator selection must be suitable for optimum changing current in order to prolong the life of the battery. Consult the external solar regulator and battery specification details for more information. This Input will be left ON when AC mains or Aux is present. 14

15 Remote Load-Isolator Switch Connection BatteryPlus35 allows for remote control of the load connections by two methods, remote switch via the Trek display (optional accessory) and hardware remote switch terminals. All loads can be turned off by operation of either switch. This feature can be used to store the caravan when not used. Both methods are described below. If both methods are installed, the dedicated remote switch overrides the remote switch via Trek. Remote Switch via Trek Display The load outputs on BatteryPlus35 can be controlled via Trek (purchased separately). Trek has a dedicated button to switch all loads off and on. When the loads are OFF the unit enters into ECO mode. Battery charging is not affected by this switch. For detailed information and more, see page 31. Note: This function is not available on the RVView. Remote Switch via Hardware Remote Switch Terminal (RSW) 7 A pair of contacts, item 7 in Name and Function of Parts, are provided for connection to the external switch. When this switch is shorted, all loads are disconnected from all power and the unit is put into storage mode. Battery charging is not affected by this switch. Any accessories connected to the communication bus are turned off. Any convenient switch and wire size may be used. Communication Bus Connection 9 The communication bus connection is used to connect the BatteryPlus35 and external BMPRO accessories via a data cable. Note: See the BMPRO by Setec website for cable accessories. Installing Controllable Pumps The BatteryPlus35 has a feature which enables two output channels to be remotely controlled from the Trek unit. These outputs are used to control two pumps which can only be switched ON and OFF, if installed. The pumps have to be connected to outputs 13 and 14. If only one pump is required to be controlled, connect it to output Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA and Figure 4: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35PM shows a single pump connected

19 BATTERIES Note: This battery charger is rated to charge battery banks of up to 600 Ah capacity. When using batteries with this product, always consult with the battery manufacturer for a detailed description of the installation, use and maintenance of the battery. The chemistry that the product can charge is detailed below: BatteryPlus35 SR HA PM Battery Chemistry Lead-Acid Only Lead-Acid LiFePO4 Lead-Acid Only Table 2: Product name and their corresponding chemistry A BatteryPlus35HA can be used to charge a LiFePO4 battery but will need to be set using a Trek before use. At default the BatteryPlus35HA is set to Lead-Acid chemistry. The battery will charge faster when all loads in the caravan are small. Note: Lead-acid battery may be Gel, AGM, Sealed, Wet or Lead crystal. Consult the battery manufacturer for profile and maximum voltage and set this using the Trek. Paralleling Batteries When paralleling batteries together, all batteries MUST be of the same type and chemistry, e.g. deep cycle battery of the same capacity, e.g. 100 Ah of the same manufacturer fully charged before connecting them together Figure 5: Recommended wiring for connecting batteries in parallel. Figure 5 is a recommendation, an auto-electrician may wire this based on system requirements. 19

20 WARNING DO NOT install battery in the same compartment where flammable material such as petrol is stored. WARNING Select the appropriate chemistry profile using the Trek, Lead acid or LiFePO4. If unsure consult with battery manufacturer or dealer. Storage If the caravan is to be stored for a long period of time, first fully charge the battery and ensure all loads are disconnected, see section Remote Load-Isolator Switch Connection. It is recommended to recharge the battery at least once every month or be maintained from the solar panel if installed. Regular recharging will prevent the battery from becoming deeply discharged a condition which can significantly shorten battery life. Deeply Discharged Batteries Lead-Acid Batteries This battery charger is not designed to charge deeply discharged batteries. Its effectiveness in charging such a battery is a function of the depth of discharge and the battery size. Bigger (higher capacity) batteries will be more troublesome in this respect. If a battery has become deeply discharged and BatteryPlus35 will not charge it, remove the battery (see Battery Connection/Disconnection Procedure on page 18) and charge it with a stand-alone charger. Once the battery voltage has recovered to normal levels it may be reinstalled. LiFePO4 Batteries If a LiFePO4 gets deeply discharged and its internal Battery Management System (BMS) turns off the battery voltage. The BatteryPlus35 will provide a 14.6V on its output to restart the battery BMS and charge the battery. SERVICING This product contains hazardous voltages and energy hazards, which can result in death or injury. Only properly qualified service personnel may service it. There are no internal user serviceable parts. 20

22 AC/DC Power Supply BatteryPlus35 provides an isolated output for powering of the loads and charging of the battery. It enters into power supply mode if it is set to charge a lead-acid battery and is powered by AC mains without the battery, providing an output voltage of 12.8V. When a battery is detected, Battery current is sensed and monitored by the power supply to limit the charging current. Refer to Charging Profile on page 26 for more details. Multiple Inputs and Blending BatteryPlus35 may have many active sources at one time. These sources include the battery, AC mains, solar input and auxiliary (AX) input. Multiple sources will be turned On to deliver power to the system. Their priorities are outlined below: BatteryPlus35HA and BatteryPlus35SR Scenario 1: If AC Mains and solar sources are available, then AC Mains is the dominant source. Scenario 2: If AC Mains and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains is the dominant source. Scenario 3: If Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then Solar and Auxiliary inputs are both be turned ON. Scenario 4: If AC Mains, Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains is the dominant source. BatteryPlus35PM Scenario 1: If AC Mains and external solar sources are available, then AC Mains and solar inputs are both turned ON. Scenario 2: If AC Mains and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains is the dominant source. Scenario 3: If External Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then Solar and Auxiliary inputs are both turned ON. Scenario 4: If AC Mains, Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains and solar input are both turned ON. Note: If no battery is attached to the BatteryPlus35 and is set as a lead acid charger, the nominal voltage is 12.80V when operating on Mains. 22

23 Fault Protection The power supply provides automatic protection for short-circuit overload, overvoltage, and over-temperature situations. In overload, over-temperature and short-circuit condition the power supply will shut down. It will then automatically attempt to restart every 30 seconds until the fault is removed. For Reverse Battery protection an external battery fuse must be installed, refer to Battery Fusing. Fusing Electronic Load Fuses Each load output is protected by internal electronic fuse. Electronic fuses are low maintenance and do not require replacement if a short circuit or over current condition occurs. L3 to L14 are 10A, and L1 and L2 are 15A outputs. Their locations are shown in Name and Function of Parts. L1 is also set as a persistent load, allowing for this output to stay on if the battery voltage falls below low voltage threshold 1 or if the Remote switch button via the Trek is pushed. This output will turn off if the battery discharges down to low voltage threshold 2. Only light or temporary load MUST be added to L1, such as an electric step. Electronic fuses eliminate the requirement for the user changing fuses, when a short occurs. The status of the output can be checked by LED indicators shown in Name and Function of Parts. The output will return once the fault is removed. Note: The LED indicators have a narrow viewing window. One has to be directly above them in order to view them. Battery Fusing Battery fusing with maximum rating of 40A must be added to the positive line of the battery terminal and be installed as close as possible to the battery. See location shown in Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA Auxiliary (AX) Fusing AX fusing must be added to the positive line of the AUX+ terminal. A fuse rating not exceeding 30 Amps must be used. See location shown in Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA 23

24 Mains Fusing The AC mains input is protected by an internal fuse of quick acting, high breaking capacity type and rated at 250V 10A. Low Voltage Disconnect Modes Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) is a feature of BatteryPlus35 that protects the battery from deep discharge preventing battery health deterioration. The are two LVD modes of protection for the battery, Eco mode and Storage mode. ECO Mode If the battery voltage drops below the ECO mode threshold, then the load outputs L2 to L14 are turned off, while L1 is left on. The communication bus and the accessories connected to this bus are left on. If no sources are available, a temporary recovery can be done by cycling the remote Isolation switch on the BatteryPlus35 or pressing the battery button on the Trek, this will turn on all the loads for short time. In this mode, a full recovery can only be done if the Battery voltage rises above the recovery threshold or if any power source is available, all outputs will be turned back on. Storage Mode If the battery discharges further and its voltage drops below the storage mode threshold, output L1 to L14 are all turned off. In this state any accessory connected to the communication bus is also turned off. In storage mode the battery current drain is less than 15mA. If no sources are available, a temporary recovery can be done by cycling the remote Isolation switch on the BatteryPlus35. All loads will be turned on for short time. In this mode, a full recovery can only be done if a power source is available and the battery voltage rises above the recovery threshold. ECO And Storage Mode Thresholds Lead Acid LiFePO4 ECO mode threshold 10.5V 12.0V Storage mode threshold 9.8V 11.5V Recovery threshold 12.8V 13.8V Table 3: ECO and storage mode thresholds 24

25 Battery Charging Management To maintain the battery in a good state of health, an intelligently controlled charging algorithm is used. The purpose is to ensure that the correct voltages are applied to the battery terminals at the appropriate times throughout its usage cycle. For blending with multiple sources refer to Multiple Inputs and blending on page 22. AC Mains Charging The BatteryPlus35 is a full battery management system with a multi-stage battery charger including soft- start, bulk-absorption and float charging modes to ensure long battery life. BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35PM can only charge a Lead- Acid battery, while the BatteryPlus35HA can charge Lead-Acid and LiFePO4 battery types. Details of the charging profile and settings can be found in Figure 8: Charging Algorithm and Table 4: Charging voltage and current settings. The maximum time in each mode is outlined in Table 5: Charging mode time maximum limit. The power supply is able to deliver 35A maximum to the battery and loads. If significant load current is present, the maximum battery charging current will be reduced accordingly. Note: that for BatteryPlus35 to operate in the manner described above, all loads must be connected to load terminals, not directly to the caravan battery. Solar Charging Solar Charging with BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA The BatteryPlus35SR/HA has an in built MPPT solar regulator. This solar regulator follows the same changing settings as described in Figure 8: Charging Algorithm and Table 4: Charging voltage and current settings. The current that can be delivered to the system for solar relies on the limitations of the panels available and various condition at the time. The voltage generated by the solar panel must exceed 17.5V for two minutes in order for the solar panels to start charging the batteries. Solar Charging with BatteryPlus35PM The BatteryPlus35PM charging currents relies on the external charger that has been connected. The power of the external solar source needs to sized according to the battery size, consult external solar controller manufacturer for correct number of panels, charge profile and installation. 25

26 AX Charging There is no current or voltage control for charging the battery from the auxiliary source. This is a simple on-off input. The charging current and voltage relies on the external source. The AX input voltage must be greater than the battery voltage for the internal relay to turn on. Once turned on the AX input will continue to provide power until this input current drops below 2A or is greater then 27A. When this input is connected to a car to provide the power to the system, It is recommended to disconnect the car output from the AX, if the alternator is not running as this may discharge the car battery. Charging Profile The charging current and voltage settings are as follows: Charge Mode Voltage Set BatteryPlus35HA BatteryPlus35SR/PM LEAD ACID LiFePO4 Soft-start 14.4V 10A 10A Bulk-Absorption 14.4V 30A 20A Float 13.6V 10A 10A Soft-start 14.6V 10A Bulk-Absorption 14.6V 30A Float 13.6V 10A Table 4: Charging voltage and current settings Charging Time The maximum time that the BatteryPlus35 will stay in each mode is as follows: Battery Capacity Soft-start Bulk-Absorption Float 100AH 6 Hours 5 Hours 6 Hours 150AH 6 Hours 7.5 Hours 6 Hours 200AH 6 Hours 10 Hours 6 Hours 250AH 6 Hours 12.5 Hours 6 Hours 300AH 6 Hours 15 Hours 6 Hours Table 5: Charging mode time maximum limit 26

27 Charging Algorithm Bulk-Absorption Voltage 13.6V Battery Voltage Tsoft-start Hours Tbulk-absorption Hours Tfloat Hours 10A Bulk-Absorption current 10A Battery Current Initial analyse mode Analyse mode Analyse mode Analyse mode Analyse mode Analyse mode Analyse mode Soft Start Mode AC Mains Charging When the battery is less than 9.5V, all loads are disabled and the charging current is limited to 10A. The charger charges at this rate until the battery voltage is 10.5V. Solar Charging When the battery is less than 10.5V, all loads are disabled and the charging current is limited to 10A. The charger charges at this rate until the battery voltage is 12.3V. Bulk Absorption Mode During this mode the battery is charged with a limit of bulkabsorption current limit until the battery voltage reaches bulk-absorption voltage limit and charge current of less than 2A. Then it changes to Float Mode. This mode has a time limit of 5hrs for a 100Ah battery. If the battery is not charged within this time, the charger will automatically enter Float Mode and will repeat itself in 6hrs time. If charging from solar, the same charging profile is followed within the limitations of the power available from the panels at that time. Float Mode Charging Steps Repeated Once in Float Mode, the charge current is limited to 10A and keeps the battery topped up. This mode has a time limit of 6hrs for a 100Ah battery.
